From figures released by the Palestinian Central Election
Committee, Abbas won over 62% ballots cast throughout the West Bank and the Gaza Strip.

Abbas' closest challenger, the independent centre-left
candidate Mustafa Barghuthi, came in second with 19.8% of the total
ballots cast. More than 5% of the voters backed the Islamist and quasi-Islamist
candidates, and another roughly 7% cast blank or invalid ballots.
